Harem done right
Thought provoking themes blah blah blah
Unique harem.
Decent girls that aren't generic.

Good at discovering fetishes.
I don't understand it myself. It has great visuals and a nice story but I can't see the long lasting appeal.

It's middlebrow trash so plebs feel smart watching it.

>high budget
is this bait
Stylish at every turn in a distinct manner, dialogue and rapport rife with wit that tickles the brain just enough to reach a wide appeal, massive amount of fanservice.
To elaborate on the dialogue bit, I'd say it's pretty similar in the way Marvel movies appeal. Everyone character is smart and snarky in their own way while staying true to several established anime stereotypes, so their constant exchanges keep people's attention while putting a smile on their face. Someone'll probably get upset about the comparison, but so it goes.

While I'll agree on the first two points, the action scenes weren't added until the show was already popular.

5' 5", which is still manlet tier by any reasonable standard.
